Fair use rationale for Image:Fred'sLogo.jpg

Image:Fred'sLogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

New logo

Sunday

For the first 35 years or so of its existence, Fred's was not open on Sundays; within its service area, this became semi-legendary, much as the same thing still is at Chik-fil-a. It was often stated on store hours signs that this was because "The Day Is Worth More Than the Dollar". This policy apparently was abandoned shortly after the death of founder Fred Baddour; when still a private company, it was still formally "Baddour, Inc." All of this needs to be included in the article if someone can find documentation for it. 72.105.75.195 (talk) 03:36, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Advertising

A series of television advertisements airing in the late 1980's and early 1990's in the chain's service area featured the home life of "Fred", an elderly gentleman with a twinkle in his eye who was constantly being admonished by his wife, "Fred, don't give away the store," in response to his constant desire to lower prices and offer specials. This campaign was especially noteworthy because the "Fred" character was portrayed by legendary character actor Ed Gray, who also portrayed a recurring character in the period legal drama I'll Fly Away which was airing around the same time. 2600:1004:B118:F84E:95CE:4054:A0E6:9DFB (talk) 03:45, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
